MTL - Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire-Chapter 16 [Professional things need professionals to do]
Chapter 16【Professional things need professionals to do】
The pangolin, who felt that he had escaped with his life, ran all the way down the mountain after getting away.
It didn't turn its neck back until it was far away from the foot of the mountain, and looked back with nostalgia. The mountains in the clouds were extremely high and low, and the surrounding clouds and mists were endless, but it never dared to go back, it was too scary.
Look for dense vegetation around to dig holes and hide. It is going to stay until night before going on its way.
Recalling Fang Chang's appearance, and that masterful posture that is closely connected with the sky and the earth, the pangolin felt a twinge of fear, but also endless joy:
I escaped with my life from such people!
In the future, even if you encounter monsters, you will show off some of them...
As for where to go next, this big monster has its own plans in mind. It heard that there is a mountain thousands of miles away in the west, called "Ant Mountain". This place name sounds delicious, why not go here.
After confirming the direction and seeing that the shift was not far away, the pangolin calmed down a bit, then went into the new cave, curled up into a ball, and comforted its spirit with a sense of security.
...
…
After driving away the pangolin, Fang Changfu went down the mountain again to check the mountain spring whose water vein was cut off.
The springs are still dry, showing that the underground water veins have been severely damaged.
Pangolins are not good at sorting out water veins, and Fang Chang is also not good at this.
He circled the mountain spring twice, checked the surroundings, and found the place where the pangolin monster was hiding before. It's just that the wide cave dug by the pangolin has completely collapsed under his strong foot, making it impossible to enter and view it.
Follow the mountain and go down to the valley at the bottom of the slope, where the vegetation is sparse and deserted. Among the messy vegetation, you can see clear stratum strips from a distance, but from a closer look, there are clusters of bright green stones distributed in large and small clusters.
Malachite?
Fang Chang was attracted by this beautiful color, stepped forward and broke off a piece, weighed it, it was not light. The stone in my hand is in the shape of a kidney, with clear and beautiful concentric rings, which is very beautiful.
Sure enough, it is malachite.
This kind of stone is a product of copper mine weathering. Unexpectedly, Yunzhongshan also produces copper, and it is indeed rich in resources.
This kind of stone contains high copper grade and is easy to smelt. It is generally the earliest type of copper ore used. Because of its bright color, the dense and high-gloss ones are also regarded as jade, but it is toxic and not suitable for close-fitting wear.
Thinking of what the pangolin monster said just now, Fang Chang deduced that the metal deposits here should have attracted the pangolin, thus cutting off the water source in the mountain village.
But from this angle... Fang Chang raised his head and looked at this place, relative to the spring water halfway up the mountain.
The pangolin dug in the wrong direction? Or is it not the copper mine itself, but some kind of associated veins inside, deep in the mountains, that attracts the pangolin demon?
Didn't bother to think about it, he put it in the back of his mind.
Looking around, this mountain has obvious faults, and the aquifer, where the mountain spring is located, is much higher than the layer where the copper mine is located. The stream flows obliquely to the distance, and goes out of the mountain along another valley, reaching Linxi Village, which has no intersection with the copper mine.
Fortunately, the spring water has not been affected, otherwise the stream polluted by the copper mine would be poisonous.
Write down this location, throw the malachite in his hand aside, Fang Chang clapped his hands, and walked slowly towards the top of the opposite mountain.
There are still two people waiting for me.
...
…
Fang Chang's wandering around made Lin Hai and Ergou on the opposite mountain anxious.
Just now, the two carefully hid on the top of the mountain, and witnessed the whole process of Fang Xianchang's subjugation of demons.
The distance of Baizhang is relatively far away, so it is not very clear to see, but they can clearly feel the surrounding mountains shaking when the fairy chief stomped his feet. At the same time, the shouts sounded like thunder.
The two villagers, one big and one small, were shocked.
They feared themselves. If they were monsters, they might be caught without a fight when they heard such a majestic question.
Facing this earth-shattering power, the two felt even more confident about Fang Xianchang's trip. Next, it should just be a matter of how long the monster resists.
When the giant pangolin jumped out of the grass, the younger Lin Ergou exclaimed, and Lin Hai next to him was so frightened that he quickly covered him and gave him a hard look—
Although Lin Hai has full confidence in Fang Xianchang, subconsciously, he is still afraid of attracting the attention of monsters.
The next scene shocked them again.
From the top of this mountain, the two of them could clearly see that the huge pangolin, which was as tall as a person, jumped out of the grass on the opposite side of the mountain.
After a few conversations with the fairy chief, the demon raised his claws as if swearing to the sky, and then his tail seemed to be on fire. Under the gaze of the fairy chief Fang with his hands behind his back, he ran away at high speed and headed towards the direction of Yunzhong Mountain. Then disappeared.
This solves it?
Lin Hai and Lin Ergou were shocked again, and then felt itchy like a rat's claw scratching their hearts. They really wanted to go back as soon as possible and tell the villagers that the demon was gone.
But Fang Xianchang did not speak, and it would be too rude to leave without authorization.
They had no choice but to continue to observe Fang Xianchang's movements, hoping that he would come over as soon as possible, but Fang Xianchang started wandering around the spring, probably to check the water source.
Maybe the Immortal Chief has already started to solve the dry spring water? The woodcutter Lin Hai and Ergou were anxious and did not dare to shout, so they could only wait silently on the top of the mountain.
After a while, I saw Fang Chang leisurely pacing up from the bottom of the hillside, and the overgrown vegetation did not hinder him in the slightest.
"Fang Xianchang!"
Lin Hai hurriedly pulled Ergou to meet him: "Congratulations to the Xianchang flag! Thank you for saving Linxi Village."
Fang Chang simply waved his hand: "It's just a matter of little effort, and the crisis has not yet been resolved. Although the evil monster has been expelled by me, the spring still hasn't flowed back. The matter is not resolved. Next, I am going to Zhang Shanshen. Please The mountain **** took action to dredge the water veins."
"The two of you go back first and tell the villagers that the source of the disaster has been solved. By the way, keep an eye on the valley. If the water in the stream resumes, it means that the crisis has been resolved."
Having seen the power of the demon just now, the two worshiped this "Fang Immortal" like a god, and immediately obeyed the words and bowed farewell.
When Lin Hai was leaving, he suddenly shouted at Fang Chang: "Xian Zhang, after you succeed, you must go to the village. I look forward to thanking you in person, or your conscience will be troubled!"
Hearing the words, Fang Chang said with a smile: "I will go to Linxi Village, but there is no need to thank you. It's a little effort, you go back quickly."
Woodcutter Lin Hai took Lin Ergou, bowed to Fang Chang again, and then quickly walked towards the mountain village.
...
…
Turning around a few hills, it is in front of the half-human mountain temple again.
Fang Chang did not offer incense with pine branches this time, but shouted to the small temple in a clear voice: "God of Zhangshan, Fang Chang please see me."
After a few breaths, the mountain **** appeared in front of the mountain temple with his body hunched over and leaning on a cane. He coughed lightly, bowed to Fang Chang and said, "Fang Shangxian has returned? I wonder if this trip to eliminate demons will go well? "
